Hazbin Hotel Discussion Thread

I mean even if I were to agree that his internal bleeding just vanished for whatever reason, I do not think drawing a pittance of blood off zapping someone who was injured in the fight in a notable way is remotely valid scaling
Oh do you want Marvel and DC where people rip chunks out of eachother? Maybe you want Alastor getting his arm blown off? Or are you going to accept that a lot of injuries in this verse just don't visually show up 80% of the time? Husk gets full stop blasted by Velvette barely a minute after this and he's got no blood drawn and just has some hashtags on him that disappear by the next scene he's in.
 
Internal bleeding 'vanishing for whatever reason' can simply be attributed to the regen of the verse. This season unironically has a few good examples for it.

The main issue is this is the only scaling point and no others actually make sense or work. The Vees are capable of harming Alastor with their moves (if you count the Vox shocking) and make him bleed with some (albeit minor). Plenty of verses have downscaling just for being able to somewhat bruise a character, actually being able to draw blood is notable enough for a downscale.
Two wrongs don't make a right, more verses should be anal about their scaling.
Also what other regen feats does this season even has, as far as I recall Hazbin regen is entirely combat non-aplicable
 
When you damage a character, you scale to whatever other things damaged them to a lesser extent.
Problem is everyone is literally in the same boat because of the Overlord scaling circle, the Vees basically are the baseline right now for the Overlords which is anywhere between "Upscaling from random fodder that are actually nobodies" or "Downscaling to a character who is most definitely stronger, to an unknown level".

Alastor basically has no (other) examples of being hurt outside of Adam..... which isn't that good of a scaling point considering it's Adam

I mean, yes...? These guys are immortal, I think fights would go even harder if they started doing stuff like that.

I mean, if the only scaling Velvette had was the Husk fight I would give her an At Most rating, since she didn't seriously harm him

I said it as a joke earlier since I figured there were more solid scaling feats somewhere, but since this is all magic shit, do we know that Alastor's not a glass cannon (that his durability scales to his output)?

ofc I'm fine enough with assuming his barriers can, and I know that many characters can amp their physicals, but usually we'd want some indication that their natural level of physical enhancement, without putting any effort in, is quite high.

As shown with the fight with 100% Vox, Al can physically throw down just fine with the both of them being able to tank attacks from one other. So nothing about Al is special in that regard unless we consider magic in general to scale far above the characters (I'm not arguing on that since my only role for all this is actually making the profiles for the Vees indexing their powers and abilities. All this stat, lore, and physiology talk are beyond me outside of my basic observations).

The point that went over your head is that this isn't a verse that shows blood being drawn very often.

Hey look, is that Adam, who was stabbed and had a ton of blood drawn, dripping off of Charlie's pitchfork, by the next scene having no blood?!

This is repeatedly and nonstop shown. Don't look for blood 100% of the time, because you will be VERY disappointed to know that consistent blood and damage done isn't done here

In his fight with 100% Vox, though this is full demon, his magic and physicals both harm Vox, and Vox harms Al(more, admittedly, but it's not like Alastor was incomparable entirely.)

Vox, Alastor, and Velvette are notably examples for characters who's scaling doesn't change with their magic(Velvette later fights Nifty with both magic and physicals)
 
Fair enough.

I also feel like I'm getting a bit too in-the-weeds so ima dip.

gl with this, I trust y'all to end up publishing something reasonable :3
I'll certainly try to keep things reasonable, and there 100% will be an option for us spending a little time getting calcs done for Al and Vox throwing eachother around in their final fight for alternative scaling.
 
I still firmly believe that bleeding was electroshocking (because if he actually made the guy bleed this would mean Base Vox > Weakened Alastor which is just not true).

I believe we should use downscaling via Velvette harming Alastor’s face and Vox harming Alastor by throwing him into the wall.

I mean by the same logic Velvette making Alastor bleed would be Base GOAT > Base deer. We see later that Alastor can handle Vox's electrocution without bleeding so it's probably just a combination of both the damages working together (being grapples and shocked). Just because you can make a guy bleed doesn't mean you're stronger
 
Tho, I don't understand why we can't just see the Vees (barely) damaging Alastor and hitting his weak spots as a inconsistence just like we do with Cherri beating to Val

Because the vees don't have anti-feats and Cherri gets overpowered by someone whos is grossly overpowered by Val repeatedly.

Being insanly inferior to 100% Vox who is insanely superior to 80% Vox who is above 60% Vox who is comparable to the other Vees is some kind of antifeat

Prove what percentage Vox was at for the fight.

We can't.

Also Cherri scales to Pentious, and THAT MAN has anti-feats out the ass.
 
Also regarding Heaven's gate and Vaporization method, I feel like Vaporization could still pass, considering yes the gate didn't get vaporized, but that thing literally survived a fall from Heaven to Hell, that shit is not normal
 
From all their fights, doesn't seem like there's a single time he actually landed a hit on her
And, Mythic, who DOES Pentious land a hit on and trade blows with? Certainly not someone who was strangling Cherri without giving her a chance to properly fight back...

Uh, the only time Pentious hit Angel Dust was during their fight in the Pilot, which he didn't even hit him, he just slams him after restraining him with some chains, which Angel was completely unfazed from, heck when Angel Dust discovered he was a spy, Pentious easily got restrained by Angel and resorted to hypnotizing him.

Rewatching that scene, Angel literally yelped when he was yanked, and Pentious tanked a jumping kick from Cherri... so...

And Pentious could successfully struggle against Angel Dust to turn around to hit him with the hypnosis.

You don't just yelp from getting hurt, someone literally wraps a chain around you and you suddenly find yourself in the air, of course you will yelp.

He doesn't really "tank it" he closed his eyes like he was actually hurt.

Isn't that just LS? He already is shown to be able to wrap Angel Dust with chains and slam him.

As @Tllmbrg said, it’s more of a paper cutting than anything. Still downscales in my book though.
We see later that Alastor can handle Vox's electrocution without bleeding so it's probably just a combination of both the damages working together (being grapples and shocked).
The second time was his head, first was way closer to his chest injury.

Basically I do believe Vees downscale, but it’s more of Weakened Alastor > Vees than >=, in the same way 100% Vox > Weakened Alastor, not >=, even though Weakened Alastor would still downscale.

I'm not arguing against that, im pointing out stuff that doesnt make the scaling completely unusable. Vox being able to make Alastor bleed without directly interacting with the scar counts
 
In Vs vs. Alastor fight he was immensely lower than his 100%, since you see from the graph that Alastor’s capture surged his popularity like crazy.
Big problem with boards like that, we dont know where Vox's starting point is before and after. Dude was already doing a slander campaign and doing the best to keep his image up on over-time before it.

Plus, as a graph, the actual increase can be literally anything since the size is relative to itself and could be talking in any amount of numbers
 
Also rewatching the pilot the funniest anti-feat to Angel Invulnerability has to be Alastor slapping Vaggie on the ass
You don't just yelp from getting hurt, someone literally wraps a chain around you and you suddenly find yourself in the air, of course you will yelp.
His yelp started right when the chain got tight.

Have a listen
He doesn't really "tank it" he closed his eyes like he was actually hurt.
Yeah getting jumping attacked does hurt, does it not? but it's proof of A) Not being one-shot and B) Being able to properly trade blows. Same thing goes to Angel.
Isn't that just LS? He already is shown to be able to wrap Angel Dust with chains and slam him.
If spinning your body around is LS, then maybe, this isn't my area of expertise. See above since Angel did punch him though.
 
Another point ig is the fact that we dont know the  amount of power Vox gets from his ratings. Like yeah he gets stronger but the dude got a  CRAZY buff once he reached 100% and even when he was in the gutter he could still survive being harmed from his fellow Vees (Velvette drop-kicked his ass and he got up).

Basically, its hard to qualify how much stronger Vox really gets outside of 100% since apparently 99% to 100% is enough for a power high
